CLINIC: We don’t. Fort Collins Planned Parenthood does though. Do you want their number?

CALLER: Yes, please.

CLINIC: It’s 1-800-360-0665.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Thank you.

CALLER: Is it all right if I ask you a quick question?

CLINIC: Oh, sure. Absolutely.

CALLER: I’m just worried. I’ll be 14 in March, and my friend told me that they would have to tell my parents. But my parents can’t find out. My boyfriend’s 22. Could he just take care of everything?

CLINIC: Hold on just a second, okay?

CALLER: All right.

(Pause)

CLINIC: Are you there?

CALLER: Yeah.

CLINIC: They should not have to know about that.

CALLER: Not at all?

CLINIC: No.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: And they can explain that to you when you give them a call. They’ll be happy to answer those questions, but that should be okay.

CALLER: All right.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: Could I come in and take a pregnancy test there?

CLINIC: You can. You just unfortunately missed the cut off today. We have donation pregnancy tests from 9 to 4 on Wednesdays. All the other days, they’re $22. So you can definitely come in tomorrow, but it would cost you $22.

CALLER: Well, that’s all right. My boyfriend said he would pay for everything.

CLINIC: Yeah, anytime. That would be fine.

CALLER: I’m worried. My last period was in December.

CLINIC: So you definitely want to come in and get that test done then. And you can just walk in. We’re open tomorrow from 9 to 7.

CALLER: Okay. My boyfriend wanted me to ask if anybody has to know about this at all.

CLINIC: No, not at all.

CALLER: All right. Well, if the pregnancy test was negative, do you guys do birth control there?

CLINIC: Yeah.

CALLER: Just so that we don’t have to go through all this again.

CLINIC: Yeah, definitely. We could either — now, I don’t know if we’re going to be able to do it tomorrow. We usually just schedule an appointment for that.

CALLER: Oh, okay.

CLINIC: We can definitely schedule that appointment for you because you most likely wouldn’t have to start them this next Sunday. We wait until your period starts, and then you’ll start your pills on the first Sunday after your period starts.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: So we should have a little bit of time.

CALLER: So if I was on birth control you wouldn’t have to tell anybody at all?

CLINIC: Not at all.

CALLER: All right. My boyfriend drives, and I don’t. Is it all right if he picks up the pills?

CLINIC: Yeah. That’d be just fine. Once you come in for your consult, which is a $25 visit, that gives you a prescription that’s good for one year with us, to come by and pick up your pills. Your pills since you’re a student are $14 a month. But yeah, if he wants to come by and pick them up, you would just have to tell us when you come in for your consult so we can put it in the computer that whatever his name is can come by and pick up the pills.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Okay?

CALLER: All right.

CLINIC: So we might see you tomorrow then.

CALLER: Okay.

CLINIC: Thank you.

CALLER: Thanks.

CLINIC: Okay. Bye bye.

CALLER: Bye.
